Moric Blaufränkisch Lutzmannsburg Alte Reben 2021

The wine that put Velich on the map, drawn from vines between 80 and 100 years old, and it shows. Wild thyme, wet stone, a thread of smoke, and pure red cherry on the nose, with a fragrance that feels almost weightless. On the palate it's fresh and crunchy, the structure wound tight but never tense, fine tannins lifting the fruit upward with an almost architectural grace. That vivid, aromatic red fruit pulses through to a finish of genuine depth and resonance. Serene and self-assured, this is Blaufränkisch of quiet monumentality. The 2021 is bone-dry and achingly beautiful, a statement vintage.
